How to Make Raspberry Almond Jam Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 cup granulated sugar.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup vegetable shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Beat 2 large eggs with 1 teaspoon almond extract. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half. Press one half evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 11x7 inch baking pan.
- Spread 1 cup raspberry jam (or your preferred jam) evenly over the pressed dough.
- Crumble the remaining dough into small pieces and sprinkle over the jam layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown.
- Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
